Question: Assalamu Walaikum
1. What is the ruling of cutting hair of private parts? Is the back side (buttok) also included?
2. I am a research scholar and I get fellowship. If there is a good amount of saving, then should I pay Zakat? If yes, then on what amount? I mean is that the amount I will have at the time of paying Zakat?
3. I heard that there is some islamic methods for reading people’s mind and knowing near future. Is that true? If yes, then what’s that and how is it done?
Answer:
Wa alaikum assalam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
I pray that you are in the best of health and faith, insha’Allah.
[1] It is recommended to cut your pubic hair weekly, and wrong to leave it beyond 40 days. [see: Proper Method of Removing Pubic Hair]
[2] Yes, you would pay zakat if you are in possession of the zakatable minimum (nisab) for one lunar year. [see: Zakat: How to Calculate & Whom to Give]
[3] No. Concern yourself with worship, remembrance, and fulfilling that which is due upon you.
And Allah alone gives success.
Wassalam,
